Replication Data for:
Wintertime Stratospheric Circulation Response to Smoke Injection from a Regional Nuclear Conflict

Author: Shim Yook

Description
This repository contains the replication dataset used to generate the figures in the manuscript:
Yook et al., "Wintertime Stratospheric Circulation Response to Smoke Injection from a Regional Nuclear Conflict."

The deposited files are processed model outputs stored in NetCDF (.nc) format. These files contain the atmospheric variables and diagnostics used to produce all figures in the paper.

Contents of the NetCDF File(s)
The NetCDF file(s) include processed CESM-WACCM simulation output used for analysis and figure generation.
Air temperature (T)
Zonal wind (U)
Heating rates (radiative and/or dynamical components)
Derived diagnostics used in heat and momentum budget analyses

Exact variable names, dimensions, and units are provided within the metadata of each NetCDF file.

Data Processing
The files contain processed output prepared specifically for figure replication.
They are not raw model output files.
All anomaly calculations, averaging procedures, and diagnostics follow the methods described in the manuscript.

Reproducing the Figures
The figures can be reproduced using standard scientific Python tools.

Recommended software:
Python (>= 3.8)
xarray
netCDF4
numpy

All necessary variables for figure reproduction are included in the dataset.

Notes
For full experimental design and methodology, please refer to the published manuscript.
